The Process of Sand Casting

5. Finishing The final step may include various finishing processes such as machining, polishing, or surface treatments to enhance the final product's appearance and performance.

Magnesium is gaining popularity in sand casting due to its lightweight properties and strength-to-weight ratio. Cast magnesium parts are often used in aerospace applications, automotive components, and military equipment. The main challenges with magnesium casting include its flammability and contamination sensitivity, but advancements in casting techniques are helping to mitigate these issues. Magnesium alloys often result in lighter parts with good mechanical properties.
